| Mar 28, 2016 at 19:01 | comment | added | Mindwin Remember Monica | @mathgenius yes. And I'd like to address that couldn't help whispering to myself "bear-demigod-einheriar-mecha warriors" and yes, if becoming one is my destiny ever I fall in battle, let my mount eat my corpse. | |
| Mar 28, 2016 at 17:32 | comment | added | mathgenius | @Mindwin, I did see #4, but I felt the need to note the cultural impact such an action will have, apart from the dietary effects. You have a point about anything in a fantasy world being too earth-like, HOWEVER, please note the reverse occurs too often (for my taste), which is saying that "because it is a fantasy world" everything is allowed and you can do as you please. The truth, imho, lies in the golden middle - while a fantasy world is just that - a fantasy, we draw parallels from the real world. The primary untainted parallel we always make is behaviour of sentient creatures. | |

@mathgenius yeah. addressed in bullet #4. Ritually eating the fallen might be a tribute to the bear god and the eaten will be rebirth as bear-demigods-enheriar-mecha to fight in the final battle against the ranks of the damned alongside mighty wargod Kratos and that is a honor because after ragnarok they will be awarded... yadda yadda yadda. by any civlised (sic) species seems a bit too earth-like when you are designing a fantasy world.
